Beautiful winery, even on a rainy day. Have a nice patio area that is covered and protected in the rain. Very nice set up for COVID safety, but we went early and they werent very busy. Our pourer was very kind and knowledgeable. Seems like one of the few places you can still do a tasting. And their prices vary so you can choose something affordable or pricey. Really enjoyed our time here.

In a world where we were treated like we had the plague at most of the wineries we visited in TC (thank you, Covid), it was SO refreshing to experience a tasting at Chateau Grand Traverse! The wines were fantastic and the servers were all professional, fun, and kind! They and we followed all guidelines, and they were still able to make it an excellent experience for us! Thank you, Savannah and team! You were awesome! We can’t wait to come back!

Amazing tasting experience!Jacob was super friendly and knowledgeable. Our favorite wines out off all the vineyards we visited in the area. Bought a lot of wine this time will definitely be back for more!Highly recommend!

We went to several different wineries in the peninsula and I vote this winery to be the best and heres why:1) Very affordable - for $5 you get to taste five different wines and, thanks to COVID, you get to keep your wine glass as a souvenir. Not only that the tasting is affordable but the wines themselves are very tasty and affordable. Dont you hate it when you do a tasting and the great wines that youd like to bring home cost >$50/bottle? Not with this place! I tried their low to high end and everything in between and I was just as satisfied with the low $13/bottle wine than I did the $30/bottle. So yes, you can bring a few bottles home for yourself and even gift some of their nicer wines without breaking the bank. Also great discount on bulk purchases or if youre in the military :)2) Location location location! Just outside of the property is a great lookout spot so ready your cameras. Also, when its not freezing outside, you can walk around the property with a great view.3) COVID-conscious. This is the best COVID-safety practicing winery that we went to. With that, theres a tradeoff where they dont take reservations for tasting and there may be longer lines as they only allow

Easily our favorite experience during our entire weekend stay.--My wife and I went wine tasting with another couple. We visited ten vineyards total during our weekend stay in the area. We are amateur wine tasters in every sense.THE GOOD:Very affordable and fun tasting options. Staff was friendly and generous with their pours. The owner hung-out with us at the bar and talked about wine, history, and romance. Wine options were extensive and tasted great! Fun, unique wine offerings. Bought two bottles at very affordable prices, especially compared to the rest of the peninsula.Clean, put together bathrooms.THE BAD:Average views. Not a lot of seating.

The wait was long due to COVID but other than that it was great! They are allowing 3 groups at a time to the bar for tastings. No more than 4 per group but if you have a big group you can split up. It’s $5 for 5 tastings and you get to keep the glass. The staff was awesome and very knowledgeable. They have a little gift shop and the way you find and buy wines was very organized. I loved the merlots that had a coffee taste and the sangria. I also loved the wine that they say is like “Christmas in a bottle”. I can’t remember the name. Over all it was a very pleasant experience with beautiful views!

Easily my favorite winery. Staff was great, loved the taste testing at 5 for $5. Found a new favorite wine too! What a beautiful place and definitely cant wait to come back. Definitely would recommend!

Beautiful location with many beautiful wineries on the peninsula. If you arent into traditional wines, they have some fantastic cherry wines that are a nice break from the Dry stuff! Service was fantastic and bottle prices are excellent on the cherry one which we liked.

Great quality wines at very good prices. One of the top wineries around Traverse City, and our favorite on the OMP. The 2018 Whole Cluster Riesling is A+. We only purchased 3, and should have left with a case. Highly recommend.

Have visited for years as views are beautiful. Wine is fair. Service has fallen off. Most recent visit in early October was with a group of six and staff was extremely snarky. Wine tasting is supposed to enjoyable and this visit fell way short!

Weve been going here for years, and even stayed in the B&B. Top notch all around. Love their Late Harvest Riesling. Great quality without the pretentious feel of other OMP wineries. Get a case and enjoy the 15% discount!

Had a great time on the patio and enjoyed our wine flights. Beautiful scenery!

Max was so nice and helpful and had great customer service!! Easy safe procedures to have a glass of wine and sit on the patio. Went to Chantel Chateau right before and procedures were too complicated and no other customers were there for us to have to wait.

Very nice winery. The tasting is truly a tasting (e.g. 1oz pour) 5 wines for $5!The server was knowledgeable and very pleasant. There is an educational video when you enter the tasting room that explains this vineyard’s winemaking process.Wines are affordable. The 2016 Silhouette Red Wine is fantastic! Best quality wine on the peninsula.Facility is very clean and well designed. I would say I could hang with Napa vineyards without any of the stuffiness.Also has good Covid protocols.

The staff did a great job of explaining the wine for two wine tasting beginners and were very welcoming. The wine was delicious especially the box twelve Riesling and Spiced Cherry wine.

While traveling through the area for the first time my wife and I stopped in for some wine tasting as we were driving up the peninsula. Brayden was very pleasant and knowledgeable of the winery and helped guide us through the extensive wine offerings. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Chateau Grand Traverse and look forward to returning.

The best view of our wine tour. I got a flight of all the cherry stuff. Liked them all! Charcuterie plate was wonderful. Kris and Taylor were awesome.

Great value at only $5 for a tasting and the wines were really good. The staff was also great!

Sat on back patio and had dry reisling. It was excellent along with a charcuterie plate

Good: scenery, quality, price and staff. Bad: could not buy a bottle of wine.

Great wine, great staff, great experience. Also, the shop is dangerous. Way too easy to buy every wine you love.

This place has a very sophisticated ambiance. Everything about it was very meticulous and clean. The wine tasting was the best that we had in Traverse City. The cherry wines were especially unique and noteworthy. We also took a guided tour of the vineyards and winery, which were amazing. The guide was very patient with all of our questions and really took the time to explain and elaborate on everything that he could.

One of our favorites! We are wine club members. Best to stay at the bed and breakfast. You go when tastings are almost done and usually get better perks because of that!

My rating is about the vineyard since I dont drink wine. The store has many options of souvenirs, but I missed grape juice for selling. It would be amazing to find it there.

CGT adapted well to the distancing rules with efficient lines while still maintaining a fun environment. Brayden was very helpful with tastings and overall knowledge of the menu. I was pleased with the experience and am very excited to go back!

This was a totally random last minute decision to come here and totally worth it. Ive had the Grand Traverse Risling Wine many times so it was nice to see where it comes from. My husband and I decided to do the wine tasting and I was very surprised that it was so inexpensive, 5 wines for $5! We added on Ice Wine for an additional $3 but well worth it. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the wines, made great recommendations and was genuinely nice to talk to. We ended up purchasing 3 of the wines we tried and walked out happy. It would be nice to come here again in the spring or fall to enjoy a glass of wine outdoors.

We are wine enthusiasts who have been tasting wine throughout Michigan. This is one of our favorite (if not THE favorite) wineries so far! All wines we’ve tasted were balanced, complex, expressive and of amazing value! They have a big menu that won lots of awards and we really liked their gamey noir and silhouette (red blend with some of the less known grape varietals). Pinot noir is also quite good too. We are definitely going to come back! Hope we can meet the owner next time for a vlog! Shout out to Max for fun and awesome service!

I loved their variety of cherry wine, but not the wait getting it. I purchased their sweet water, which was amazing. Their Grand Traverse late harvest was phenomenal as well for anyone who loves sweet whites. Didnt have any great views but I played in their grapes. Would return for their cheap prices! $3 for 5 tastings, $5 includes their reserve wine options.

My personal favorite winery in the area. The scenery is amazing and the outdoor patio is perfect to relax and enjoy your wine while being surrounded by the vineyard. They offer little tours of their wine making process every hour which is also really cool. Their wine is some of the best as well. Be sure to add this one on your checklist while wine tasting.

The wine tasting was great and the discount for the bottles after makes it worth it

Great place. Great wine. Great views.

Spiced cherry wine and double gold cherry wine sound AMAZING! Can I ORDER ONLINEDawn

Wonderful wine tasting! Very well sanitized and well run!

Social distancing was hard with a group from a wine tour bus behind us that must have been on their 3rd or 4th winery, but the view was worth it!

Very good wine and very knowledgeable staff!

One of my favorite places to stop on every trip to Traverse City!

My favorite stop on the peninsula!

Stopped in and sampled their wine. Bought a beautiful wine glass & 6 bottles of wine total, because even my husband liked them! Score!

Friendly staff, great wine, NOT over priced, beautiful views!

Good wine at reasonable prices

A favorite...the wine, the view, tasting room

Excellent wine selection (especially for a Riesling lover like my wife and I)! The server said they produce over 18% of all Michigans Riesling. Very nice service and exceptionally proceed wines. I see why they are the biggest producing winery in northern Michigan.

My favorite winery. The spiced cherry and their double gold cherry port were delicious. Brought a bottle home for 6 bucks. Ken was a fantastic bartender and host.

All they are worried about is getting their$5.00 fee. The tasting staff was attentive to everyone around us. If you need to cleanse your palet, you are directed to the drinking fountain ( a sign of pitching pennies). Never noticed that being a problem with other wineries. All in all very poor service. not impressed at all. Will not be back.

Did this as part of a 4 winery wine tour. Service was great and wine was delicious. Scenery was beautiful and place was very clean and modern

Out of the 5 winery today this was the least friendly & least informative. Overall cold atmosphere.

Lawn garden is the bomb

Prices on wine are great. Neat gift shop and patio to sit on. I come here every year and it’s a reliably nice time.Neat they’re branching into cold brew coffee - they also have reasonable price rooms to stay.

Mady was super knowledgeable and fun to talk with! We had a great time. Will be back tomorrow for Romancing the Riesling!

Excellent place, very beautiful atmosphere! Great staff! We will be going back!

Amazing experience! Highly recommend for your next get away. Friendly staff, sweet views and good food.

Best winery on the peninsula

The Tankhaus was amazing! So warm and cozy. And it even had WI-FI. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. And the breakfast in bed was a real plus. I loved the Riesling pancakes. And the service was the best, thanks to our wonderful servers Curtis and Meghan. Thanks Chateau Grand Traverse. We will definitely return for another weekend stay at The Tankhaus.Tom Emmott

Clean professional staff and atmosphere. Large winery ran well. The wines are good, consistent and inexpensive relive to the good quality. Wines tend to lean toward the sweet side is if that is your jam this is your place.

Very nice place

The wines are pretty good!!! Only reason I havent been here before is their wine is mass produced and I can get it downstate.....now that Ive actually tried it I will probably get some down there!!!! A great stop if youre on the peninsula!!!!

We did a sampling and the tour of the winery. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and involved our children with a very detailed learning experience of how wine is made and processed. The spiced cherry was our favourite!

We had a great time sampling the wine. John was very informative about the different wines we selected to try.They had more reds than usual this year on hand as the crop was better than previous years.

Wine was nice, staff not so much. We had a flight of wine on the patio which costs more than the tasting. Apparently there is a coupon that is only avaliable to those who go through the tasting experience. We asked if they served food and an abrupt NO was given, even though they have a small offering of light fare.

Everything about this place is wonderful! My (now) fiancée and I stayed at the inn here just over a week ago. We were lucky enough to catch a tour of the winery, did a few tastings, learned a ton about winemaking, and of course, came home with some incredible wine. Their staff are all friendly and incredibly knowledgeable on the process and science behind making wine. Special thanks to Ann who helped me coordinate my proposal on their scenic overlook deck! Out of all the wineries on the peninsula, this is without a doubt our favorite for so many reasons! We will absolutely be back, many times.

The service was amazing, ALL the wines were exceptional and had multiple that have won awards! They offer $3 off a wine purchase if you do a tasting and they also offer WOMP and Vintage Wine Club discounts! Highly recommend!!

Very educational

Very friendly and great wine!!!!

Oui oui. Good wine. Coupons with tastings. Nice deck.

One of my favorite wineries. Tastings were delicious and the prices reasonable for wine.

Was probably one of my favorites out of them all on the peninsula thank you for Great service and great wine

Beautiful atmosphere a decent selection of wines with a long wait for food and wines. Wirth a stop of you go early enough to avoid crowds go before 1pm. Service is good.

Very good wine at very fair prices. I appreciate that the tasting fee can be included towards purchase of bottles. Please keep that policy as is, if not free.

Ive enjoyed their wine and their suites are amazing.

Nice place nowledgable staff good people.

Pinnacle experience next to seeing the entire pennisula. Breath taking views. Can pick fruit just up the road on the left.

The staff was very friendly and they had a large selection. We purchased two tasting packages because there were so many to choose from. There is a beautiful back patio off the tasting room- perfect to enjoy a glass of wine on a warm day. My boyfriend recommends the Cherry Spiced wine- ask them to warm it up. It tastes like Christmas!

Love everything about this place. Always have. Brought my husband here for our honeymoon this weekend. Wonderful wine friendly staff and a lovely environment.

Nice spot with decent wines

Steve was very rude and abrupt...ruined the whole birthday experience and vibe.

A more touristy winery with wonderful views but less quality service. If you come in during a busy hour you get lined up to wait for bar counter style service and the sommeliers seen less likely to give you a quality experience.

Love it! I vsI visit every time Im in the area.

Good wine but check out another story. They shipped our wine via usps ground. It is all been over heated and no good. Don’t ship!

Beautiful B & B, loved the location, our gorgeous room, and the winery itself. The breakfasts were fantastic, the service was ideal, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful rooms with a lovely view, loved the common ares and the hospitality.

One word: Pretentious. Our wine tasting girl was really cute, kind, and knowledgable. But the atmosphere was stuck up. Even in OFF season with hardly anyone there. My husband said... Advice to managers: Stop acting like everyone who walks in the door should be a millionaire. Very sad as we were expecting a way better experience. The wine and atmosphere is better at Black Star Farms

Enjoyed the tour and the friendly atmosphere. I am sitting here in Mid-November enjoying a glass of the Cherry Riesling. Great wine!!

A great place to taste and buy VERY good wines. Serving bar was clean and staff was knowledgeable of the wines they served. Prices were perfect.

Beautiful facility with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Oh, and very delicious wines (both dry and sweet)!

Its a fun place, my wife and sister love going there for wine Wednesday, Ive been there for an event, and the setting is nice, the staff are friendly. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Wonderful wine. The views are breath taking.

Went there for a wineery visit. It is the most educational and knowledgeable. The process of making wine was explained by staff and they were so friendly. Had 6 kinds of beer tasting. I recommend visit this place if you are in Traverse city.

Good experience would recommend when in the area. $3 and $5 tastings very reasonable.

Take the time to visit château winery some of the best wine on the peninsula. Buy it take it home and enjoy.

The staff, service, wines and prices are the best in the area. Ive been to 5-6 wineries and this is by far the favorite. A must go.

Fantastic pricing, amazing wine, and friendly, informative staff. Well worth my time spent there.

Great place to taste test. Very informative

What a wonderful experience. From the facilities to the staff and their wines. Wonderful time.

Very nice place. If you like wine.

Helpful and friendly, even to those of us who are not wine experts

My only complaint is that the walls are way too thin. We had good neighbors, but it would have been a nightmare if we didnt. Everything else was spectacular.

I purchased the cherry wine which has a plastic cork which I first had to pick some of the top off and then my husband finally got it opened with a corkscrew. The wine itself is not fruity like Blue Nun or Boones Farm but doesnt take like cherries either. Would definitely not purchase from this winery again mostly due to the fake cork. Also, it smells unpleasant. I poured it down the drain. My husband said it smelled like vinegar.

Always love this place however today it was very disappointing. The very smallest pours compared to all the other wineries

The best wine and their people know their stuff.

Nice can!

Luv the Spiced Cherry wine
